Guest guest Posted May 23, 2006 Report Share Posted May 23, 2006 Holly, please call your rheumatologist ASAP. Not an MD I'll tell you where to go! Mayo Clinic in Rochester http://www.mayoclinic.org/rochester s Hopkins Medicine http://www.hopkinsmedicine.org [ ] Scary Symptom I have been experiencing tingling and numbness in my legs on and off for years. Lately my legs have been completely falling asleep even when I am standing up. I just drop to the floor. It starts off like my legs are falling asleep even more so when I am standing and walking. Then they just go completely numb. Is this something I need to tell my doctor now, or should I bring it up at my next appointment? Has anyone else experienced this? Best wishes, HOlly Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted February 15, 2007 Report Share Posted February 15, 2007 maybe you were sleeping on it? I remember the first time I had that after starting LDN. I said "I REMEMBER these feelings, this is a NORMAL persons response". Now my limbs get pins and needles, as a normal person would, as I do remember having YEARS ago, but not in the 11 years prior to starting LDN. Personally, I think one should go to 3.0 MG and let the healing powers flow. I find issues don't go beyond 3 weeks from noticeable start to finish, with the tougher ones. Some have only lasted 3-4 days. The body knows what it's doing -- it's US who get worried we're doing something wrong. Good luck to ya [low dose naltrexone] Scary Symptom Hi everyone. I have been taking 1.5mg of LDN for a week now. I had been feeling pretty good with just a minor return of a few symptoms which were desensation in all my finger tips and slight left facial/lip numbness. But......this morning I awoke around 5am with pins and needles in my right arm and I could not move it until I picked it up with my left and shook it and then the feeling came back and it was better. Scary! Has anyone had this symptom? I have had it before in the past even when I first had MS in 1988. I don't know why for me some of my worst symptoms a lot of times are when I first awake. Is it because my blood flow or brain activity is slower? I don't know. Anyway I was wondering if this is LDN bringing out old symptoms and how long does that last? Otherwise I have been feeling pretty good. I do notice a difference with less stiffness and cramping.Any advice on this symptom or how long I should expect return of old ones would be appreciated.Thank you!

Don't think it's related to MS nor the LDN. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
